You are at a buffet, a large variety of food is at the display, tap yourself and avoid this overly delicious trap, take your plate and opt for a salad that is either without dressing or if it has a dressing then the ingredients are supposed to be healthy options, after finishing your salad , go for a dish of veggies (any good taste yet healthy recipe is okay), keep the protein or favorite food item for the last part of the meal where your tummy is almost full and now you can reward yourself with your favorite dish without bearing any guilt.
